Villa Essenza - Premium Bike & Hike House

Villa Essenza is an exclusive ground-floor apartment within a private villa, designed for guests who value independence, nature, and a refined yet simple living environment.
A peaceful retreat and a functional base for exploring the Ligurian coast and inland areas, where comfort and minimalist design create a natural sense of balance.

Located in Albenga, Villa Essenza offers direct access to a wide variety of outdoor experiences. From the coast to the hills, the surrounding area is ideal for guests who enjoy an active, nature-oriented stay.

You can easily reach:

- scenic coastal cycling routes along the Riviera
- challenging and panoramic mountain bike trails in the inland hills
- hiking trails with sweeping views of the landscape
- beaches and water activities just a short distance away

The apartment is entirely at your disposal and comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests. It features two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious open-plan living area, and a fully equipped kitchen designed for self-catering stays.
For families traveling with children, it is possible upon request to add up to two single beds (one per room), offering additional flexibility. An additional fee applies. The standard capacity is 4 guests.

Bright interiors, natural materials, and hardwood floors create a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the home, designed to support both relaxation and daily life.

A secure covered garage with a dedicated bike storage area makes Villa Essenza particularly suitable for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who need safe and practical storage for their equipment.

The property is intentionally designed as a TV-free environment, encouraging guests to disconnect, slow down, and enjoy time together or in quiet personal space.
